1 Side effects

While this is minor if someone really needs something like this i do wonder why the scrolling of the page gets slower? Have anyone noticed that? In the first example the scrolling of the page is really smooth. In the rest of the examples scrolling isn’t that smooth,

3 Image ratios NOT the same

“Note that 1024×768px has the same ratio as the background image (1280×760px).”

This is plainly false – 1024×768 is 4:3, 1280×760 is a little over 16:9

Like tsiger, I noticed Firefox 3.6/Mac experiences heavy lag when scrolling or resizing the window in Example 5 of the article. It may simply be a Firefox thing (not the fastest browser anymore), but it really is a deal-breaker.

Fortunately, I’m not too terribly anxious to make use of background-size on any commercial projects before Firefox 4 is slated to be released. ;-)

6 typo in CSS too?

Extra brace? Missing brace? In the @media rule.

7 Ah what a tease

“it will be interesting to see how quickly people embrace Internet Explorer 9, so we can start using many of these new techniques on a large scale soon.”

This, for me, is the crux of the matter…despite all the advances, IE still holds us back. Some things never seem to change.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.4 w/ Firefox 3.3.6
I am referring to scrolling with the scrolling wheel not by grabbing the scrollbar.

I tried to reproduce this behavior in a PC (WinXP/Firefox 3.5.10) but it works smoothly.

I also tried with 3 different mice to eliminate any hardware issues but i do get the lag with all of them.
